Smaller groups, personal feedback

Quality skills training requires smaller group sizes. Ours average at about 16 people which means you can ask more questions than in larger trainings, and have your practice observed directly by a trainer for personal feedback.

ACBS Peer-Reviewed Trainers

All our ACT trainers have been through the quality control procedure offered by the Association of Contextual Behavioural Science, the body that created Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

Retain habits

People acquire new skills by actively applying new skills. We specialize in training that supports and extends active practice during the training session and beyond. After each two day session you should expect to leave with the confidence to practice multiple new skills.

Thanks and appreciation for the exceptional experience of this training. This goes particularly to David and Henry, for their support and expertise, but also to everyone for creating such a warm, intimate and nurturing atmosphere. Active involvement in the role plays has not only improved my self-confidence but also, on a deeper level, made me very reflective of my own vulnerabilities. Special thanks to David for his courage and generosity. I don't think any one of us could have predicted or wished for a more fitting finale.

Gillian Smith, Care and Wellbeing Manager

The opportunity to practice Mindfulness and learn about Acceptance & Commitment Therapy at the weekend was wonderful, and the very detailed handouts made for excellent reading. This year long course is competitively priced and I think offers great value for money. I fully recommend it!

Dr Helen Idusohan, Senior Clinical Psychologist in the NHS

Your ACT training courses have been brilliant, so thank you. Acceptance and Commitment Training is now playing a big role in our career direction work and has provided a focus for dealing with the negative thoughts and emotions which inevitably come with change. What makes ACT particularly effective with careers work is its versatility and focus on values identification.

Rob Archer, Director, Bloom Psychology

The ACT intro course was fantastic and a real eye opener to the limitation of CBT. I think that further learning in this area will help me to adapt the help and support that I provide for people with chronic insomnia.

Dr. Guy Meadows PhD, London Insomnia Clinic

Mindfulness Training Ltd. provided a comprehensive introductory programme on (ACT) and the support I have received since has been exemplary. I have found (ACT) to be a very useful and flexible intervention to introduce into my practice.
